−
The '''Sandvich''' (in full, the '''''Sandvich Edible Device''''') is an unlockable secondary 'Lunchbox' item for the [[Heavy]], replacing his standard [[Shotgun]] once [[Heavy achievements|Heavy Milestone 1]] is achieved. It consists of two triangular slices of bread containing lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ham, and bologna in between. When eaten, it replenishes the Heavy to his full [[classes#health points|100% health]] (300 HP) over a four second duration. The decision to eat a Sandvich must not be taken lightly however, as the Heavy will be completely immobile and creates loud munching noises during the process. After consumption, the Sandvich will be unavailable for a cooldown of 30 seconds, or until the Heavy picks up a [[Medikit]] while at full health. The healing given by the Sandvich does not [[fire|extinguish fire]] although it heals the Heavy much faster than he is burned, potentially saving a Heavy with critically low HP. The Sandvich cannot be consumed whilst [[water|underwater]] (since it becomes wet and unsavory).
 
  
−
Generous Heavies can use the alternate fire to drop the Sandvich at his feet for 30 seconds for team mates to pick up, healing the collector 50% of his maximum health. A dropped Sandvich will recharge over 30 seconds but another one can be collected from a [[Resupply cabinet]] or a Medikit while at full health. Players gain 50&nbsp;hp (75 for Scouts) by picking up a Sandvich that was dropped upon the death of the Heavy.
+
The '''Sandvich''', known in full as the '''Sandvich Edible Device''', is an unlockable [[Weapons#heavysecondary|secondary weapon]] for the {{cl|Heavy}}. It is half of a sandwich made with two triangular slices of white bread. Layered inbetween are slices of lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, ham and bologna, [[Media:Heavy sandwichtaunt16.wav|as noted by the Heavy]], and a green pimento-stuffed olive is pinned to the top with a toothpick. The [[Festive weapons|Festive]] version wraps the entire sandwich in team-colored wrapping paper, decorated with several [[w:Matryoshka doll|Matryoshka Dolls]] decals that feature both the Sandvich and the playable classes. It also replaces the olive with a [[Self-illumination|glowing]] yellow star, attached via a large [[Jiggle bones|spring]]. On consumption, the Sandvich shows a large bite to its side.
  
−
As of the current patch, the Sandvich cooldown triggered by eating can be mitigated by making use of the "use tf_weapon" commands to swap in another weapon before the taunt concludes. This is likely because the code that imposes the cooldown checks to see whether the Heavy has the Sandvich equipped before applying the cooldown. Example binds that will achieve this effect include: Bind "KEY" "use tf_weapon_minigun" Bind "KEY" "use tf_weapon_fists".
+
The Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either primary fire or taunt key ([[List of default keys|default keys]]: {{key|MOUSE1}} and {{key|G}}, respectively). When eaten, it gradually replenishes up to 300 [[health]] over a four second duration with no [[Healing#Overheal|overheal]]. While the Heavy is eating, he makes a [[media:SandwichEat09.wav|loud munching sound]] and the player is forced into the third-person view. As eating the Sandvich is considered a [[Taunts|taunt]], it cannot be consumed in instances when taunts cannot be used, such as when underwater. If consumed while at maximum health, the Sandvich does not have to recharge, allowing it to be consumed continuously for leisure. [[Critical hits|Crit-boosted]] Sandviches have no additional benefits.
  
−
==Damage==
+
Players can use the alt-fire key {{DK|MOUSE2|link=no}} to drop the Sandvich onto the floor. A dropped Sandvich appears on a rotating plate and acts as a [[Health#Health kit comparison table|medium Health kit]] that can be picked up by both allies and enemies. Picking up the Heavy's own dropped Sandvich resets the weapon's cooldown timer rather than providing health. A dropped Sandvich from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, restores health and does not reset the cooldown timer. Two sandviches from the same Heavy cannot be dropped on the floor at the same time, as the original disappears as soon as another is thrown.
−
None. Heals 300HP.
 
  
−
==Function times==
+
The recharge time for the Sandvich is approximately 30 seconds. The Heavy can instantly recharge the Sandvich by visiting a [[Respawn#Resupply|Resupply cabinet]], picking up his own thrown Sandvich, or collecting any health pickup while at full health. The recharge timer begins as soon as the Sandvich is consumed or dropped. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Sandvich, the ammo pack that he drops upon death instead restores 50 health for all classes but the [[Scout]], who is healed for 75 health. The Sandvich weapon itself can be collected by other Heavies via weapon switching.

* If the Sandvich is the active weapon during [[Humiliation]], it can still be thrown by using alternate fire, and taunting still restores the player to full health.

−
*A Heavy holding the Sandvich drops no ammo or metal when killed, leaving behind his Sandvich instead. An enemy [[Scout]] who kills a Heavy eating a Sandvich may collect his victim's luncheon to earn the "Dodgers 1, Giants 0" [[Scout achievements|achievement]], as well as to gain 75 HP. All other classes will heal 50 HP when they pick up a fallen Heavy's Sandvich.
+
 
−
*The Sandvich was first portrayed to the playing community in the ''[[Meet the Scout]]'' video, weeks before it was released as an in-game item.
+
== Trivia ==
−
*Because the Sandvich has no unique taunt, taunting with the Sandvich held has exactly the same effect as using its primary function, though the short delay between switching weapons and being able to fire them is ignored if a player taunts with the Sandvich (Default key "G") instead of using it with Primary fire. This method of bypassing the weapon switch delay can be used to minimize the time in which you are vulnerable to attack.
+
* The Sandvich was first introduced to the community in ''[[Meet the Scout]]'', months before it was released as an in-game item.
−
*When eaten, [[critical]] Sandviches do not receive any extra bonuses or boosts apart from the aesthetic critical effects.
+
** Scout receiving more health from a dropped Sandvich is a direct reference to this.<ref>game\server\tf\tf_ammo_pack.cppL:315</ref>
−
*Despite the Sandvich being made of bread, meat, cheese, and vegetables, it can somehow be [[Crafting|crafted]] into scrap metal.
+
* The user manual for the Sandvich contains a typo. The word "Health" relating to the cheese and dairy group is misspelled as "Heatlh". This is corrected in the actual poster available through the Valve Store.
−
*In some circumstances, eating the Sandvich continuously can make a Heavy almost invulnerable against some attacks due to its fast healing rate. It is even possible to get hit by uncharged [[Sniper Rifle]] [[headshot]]s several times without dying.
+
** The user manual also still mentions healing 120 health (or "nutritional points") it used to heal, rather than the 300 health it currently heals.
−
**This was changed with the [[July 8, 2010 Patch]], which made the Sandvich have a similar cooldown seen in [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]], preventing from eating his Sandvich continuously.
 
−
***However, as of this edit on July 10, 2010, it is possible to circumvent this via the "use" command to make him switch to one of his other weapons; he does not heal while Sandvich is not out, however.
 
−
*A Heavy eating continuously his Sandvich can survive all the bullets shot by a level 1 sentry without dying.
 
−
*The Sandvich user guide says that the bread and grains group heals 20 health, the vegtable group heals 40 health, the cheese and dairy group heals 20 health, the meat and poultry group heals 20 health, and the other bread and grains group heals 20 health. This sums to only 120 health, the amount of health that the Sandvich originally replenished. The ability of the Sandvich to heal 300 points of health was added in [[September 15, 2009 Patch|a later update]].
 
−
*It is also possible to drop the Sandvich possibly saving the Heavy's life while he is stunned from the Sandman.
 
−
*Currently, a glitch exists where if a player taunts with the Sandvich, The cooldown meter gets stuck and does not refill until you grab another Sandvich from the resupply cabinet.

This article is about the secondary weapon for the Heavy. For similar food items, see Sandvich (disambiguation).
“
The Sandvich is a great tool for a Heavy defending an area, as it gives him the ability to replenish health between enemy waves without having to abandon his post.
— Sandvich publicity blurb
 ”

The Sandvich, known in full as the Sandvich Edible Device, is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is half of a sandwich made with two triangular slices of white bread. Layered inbetween are slices of lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, ham and bologna, as noted by the Heavy, and a green pimento-stuffed olive is pinned to the top with a toothpick. The Festive version wraps the entire sandwich in team-colored wrapping paper, decorated with several Matryoshka Dolls decals that feature both the Sandvich and the playable classes. It also replaces the olive with a glowing yellow star, attached via a large spring. On consumption, the Sandvich shows a large bite to its side.

The Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either primary fire or taunt key (default keys: MOUSE1 and G, respectively). When eaten, it gradually replenishes up to 300 health over a four second duration with no overheal. While the Heavy is eating, he makes a loud munching sound and the player is forced into the third-person view. As eating the Sandvich is considered a taunt, it cannot be consumed in instances when taunts cannot be used, such as when underwater. If consumed while at maximum health, the Sandvich does not have to recharge, allowing it to be consumed continuously for leisure. Crit-boosted Sandviches have no additional benefits.

Players can use the alt-fire key (default key: MOUSE2) to drop the Sandvich onto the floor. A dropped Sandvich appears on a rotating plate and acts as a medium Health kit that can be picked up by both allies and enemies. Picking up the Heavy's own dropped Sandvich resets the weapon's cooldown timer rather than providing health. A dropped Sandvich from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, restores health and does not reset the cooldown timer. Two sandviches from the same Heavy cannot be dropped on the floor at the same time, as the original disappears as soon as another is thrown.

The recharge time for the Sandvich is approximately 30 seconds. The Heavy can instantly recharge the Sandvich by visiting a Resupply cabinet, picking up his own thrown Sandvich, or collecting any health pickup while at full health. The recharge timer begins as soon as the Sandvich is consumed or dropped. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Sandvich, the ammo pack that he drops upon death instead restores 50 health for all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health. The Sandvich weapon itself can be collected by other Heavies via weapon switching.

The Sandvich is automatically awarded to any player who obtains 10 Heavy achievements.

Bugs

  • If the Sandvich is the active weapon during Humiliation, it can still be thrown by using alternate fire, and taunting still restores the player to full health.
  • The Festive variant does not glow when Crit boosted.
  • The light on the Festive Sandvich may appear red or blue when thrown instead of the typical yellow.
  • The Festive Sandvich does not appear when inspecting it from the backpack menu.

Trivia

  • The Sandvich was first introduced to the community in Meet the Scout, months before it was released as an in-game item.
    • Scout receiving more health from a dropped Sandvich is a direct reference to this.[1]
  • The user manual for the Sandvich contains a typo. The word "Health" relating to the cheese and dairy group is misspelled as "Heatlh". This is corrected in the actual poster available through the Valve Store.
    • The user manual also still mentions healing 120 health (or "nutritional points") it used to heal, rather than the 300 health it currently heals.
